Shubal Dodge
additions April 2013
We have a lot of photos of this family that have been sent to us. Also, DNA from a descendant has proved this Dodge family to be descendants in the Tristram Dodge line: Tristram, Israel, John, John Dodge/Lydia Rogers. However, there is a family line that has been lost from the line of John and Lydia, and so far we have not been successful in finding the connection from Shubal to this family. We also have DNA from a descendant of John Elson/Ellison? Dodge which proves these families are connected..
We have a pdf file of the family of Eli Dodge, son of Shubal
